+ * If an invalid floating point operation was performed the Floating-point unit (FPU)
+ * generates a Floating-point exception (FPE). Dependending on the settings in
+ * the FPU's control-register (interrupt mask) the FPE is handled by the FPU itself
+ * (we will call this as "FPE disabled" later on) or is passed to the application
+ * (FPE enabled).
+ * If FPEs are enabled a floating-point division by zero (e.g. 10.0 / 0.0) is
+ * considered an error and an exception is thrown. Otherwise the FPU will handle
+ * the error and return the result infinity (INF) (10.0 / 0.0 = INF) without
+ * throwing an error to the application.
+ * The same applies to a division by INF that either raises an exception
+ * (FPE enabled) or returns 0.0 (FPE disabled).
+ * Normally (as with C-programs), Floating-point exceptions (FPE) are DISABLED
+ * on program startup (at least with Intel CPUs), but for some strange reasons
+ * they are ENABLED in pascal (both delphi and FPC) by default.
+ * Many libs operating with floating-point values rely heavily on the C-specific
+ * behaviour. So using them in delphi is a ticking time-bomb because sooner or
+ * later they will crash because of an FPE (this problem occurs massively
+ * in OpenGL-based libs like projectM). In contrast to this no error will occur
+ * if the lib is linked to a C-program.
+ *
+ * Further info on FPUs:
+ * For x86 and x86_64 CPUs we have to consider two FPU instruction sets.
+ * The math co-processor i387 (aka 8087 or x87) set introduced with the i386
+ * and SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) introduced with the Pentium3.
+ * Both of them have separate control-registers (x87: FPUControlWord, SSE: MXCSR)
+ * to control FPEs. Either has (among others) 6bits to enable/disable several
+ * exception types (Invalid,Denormalized,Zero,Overflow,Underflow,Precision).
+ * Those exception-types must all be masked (=1) to get the default C behaviour.
+ * The control-registers can be set with the asm-ops FLDCW (x87) and LDMXCSR (SSE).
+ * Instead of using assembler code, we can use Set8087CW() provided by delphi and
+ * FPC to set the x87 control-word. FPC also provides SetSSECSR() for SSE's MXCSR.
+ * Note that both Delphi and FPC enable FPEs (e.g. for div-by-zero) on program
+ * startup but only FPC enables FPEs (especially div-by-zero) for SSE too.
+ * So we have to mask FPEs for x87  in Delphi and FPC and for SSE in FPC only.
+ * FPC and Delphi both provide a SetExceptionMask() for control of the FPE
+ * mask. SetExceptionMask() sets the masks for x87 in Delphi and for x87 and SSE

+// -------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Note on version comparison (for developers only):
+// -------------------------------------------------------------------
+// Delphi (in contrast to FPC) DOESN'T support MACROS. So we
+// can't define a macro like VERSION_MAJOR(version) to extract
+// parts of the version-number or to create version numbers for
+// comparison purposes as with a MAKE_VERSION(maj, min, rev) macro.
+// So we have to define constants for every part of the version here.
+//
+// In addition FPC (in contrast to delphi) DOES NOT support floating-
+// point numbers in $IF compiler-directives (e.g. {$IF VERSION > 1.23})
+// It also DOESN'T support arithmetic operations so we aren't able to
+// compare versions this way (brackets aren't supported too):
+//   {$IF VERSION > ((VER_MAJ*2)+(VER_MIN*23)+(VER_REL*1))}
+//
+// Hence we have to use fixed numbers in the directives. At least
+// Pascal allows leading 0s so 0005 equals 5 (octals are
+// preceded by & and not by 0 in FPC).
+// We also fix the count of digits for each part of the version number
+// to 3 (aaaiiirrr with aaa=major, iii=minor, rrr=release version)
+//
+// A check for a library with at least a version of 2.5.11 would look
+// like this:
+//   {$IF LIB_VERSION >= 002005011}
+//
+// If you just need to check the major version do this:
+//   {$IF LIB_VERSION_MAJOR >= 23}
+//
+// IMPORTANT:
+//   Because this unit must be included in a uses-section it is
+//   not possible to use the version-numbers in this uses-clause.
+//   Example:
+//     interface
+//     uses
+//       versions, // include this file
+//       {$IF USE_UNIT_XYZ}xyz;{$IFEND}      // Error: USE_UNIT_XYZ not defined
+//     const
+//       {$IF USE_UNIT_XYZ}test = 2;{$IFEND} // OK
+//     uses
+//       {$IF USE_UNIT_XYZ}xyz;{$IFEND}      // OK
+//
+//   Even if this file was an include-file no constants could be declared
+//   before the interface's uses clause.
+//   In FPC macros {$DEFINE VER:= 3} could be used to declare the version-numbers
+//   but this is incompatible to Delphi. In addition macros do not allow expand
+//   arithmetic expressions. Although you can define
+//     {$DEFINE FPC_VER:= FPC_VERSION*1000000+FPC_RELEASE*1000+FPC_PATCH}
+//   the following check would fail:
+//     {$IF FPC_VERSION_INT >= 002002000}
+//   would fail because FPC_VERSION_INT is interpreted as a string.
+//
+// PLEASE consider this if you use version numbers in $IF compiler-
+// directives. Otherwise you might break portability.

+ *   multiple sized fonts and select the one we need for the mipmap-level and
+ *   it avoids that neighbored glyphs use different mipmap-level which might
+ *   look odd because one glyph might look blurry and the other sharp.
+ *
+ * Motivation:
+ *   We do not use OpenGL for mipmapping as the results are very bad. At least
+ *   with automatic mipmap generation (gluBuildMipmaps) the fonts look rather
+ *   blurry.
+ *   Defining our own mipmaps by creating multiple textures with
+ *   for different mimap levels is a pain, as the font size passed to freetype
+ *   is not the size of the bitmaps created and it does not guarantee that a
+ *   glyph bitmap of a font with font-size s/2 is half the size of the font with
+ *   font-size s. If the bitmap size is just a single pixel bigger than the half
+ *   we might need a texture of the next power-of-2 and the texture would not be
+ *   half of the size of the next bigger mipmap. In addition we use a fixed one
+ *   pixel sized border to smooth the texture (see cTexSmoothBorder) and maybe
+ *   an outset that is added to the font, so creating a glyph mipmap that is
+ *   exactly half the size of the next bigger one is a very difficult task.
+ *
+ * Solution:
+ *   Use mipmap textures that are not exactly half the size of the next mipmap
+ *   level. OpenGL does not support this (at least not without extensions).
+ *   The trickiest task is to determine the mipmap to use by calculating the
+ *   amount of minification that is performed in this function.

+   * An IPath represents a filename, a directory or a filesystem path in general.

+   * It hides some of the operating system's specifics like path delimiters

+   * and encodings and provides an easy to use interface to handle them.

+   * Internally all paths are stored with the same path delimiter (PathDelim)

+   * and encoding (UTF-8). The transformation is already done AT THE CREATION of

+   * the IPath and hence calls to e.g. IPath.Equal() will not distinguish between

+   * Unix and Windows style paths.

+   *

+   * Create new paths with one of the Path() functions.

+   * If you need a string representation use IPath.ToNative/ToUTF8/ToWide.

+   * Note that due to the path-delimiter and encoding transformation the string

+   * might have changed. Path('one\test/path').ToUTF8() might return 'one/test/path'.

+   *

+   * It is recommended to use an IPath as long as possible without a string

+   * conversion (IPath.To...()). The whole Delphi (< 2009) and FPC RTL is ANSI

+   * only on Windows. If you would use for example FileExists(MyPath.ToNative)

+   * it would not find a file which contains characters that are not in the

+   * current locale. Same applies to AssignFile(), TFileStream.Create() and

+   * everything else in the RTL that expects a filename.

+   * As a rule of thumb: NEVER use any of the Delphi/FPC RTL filename functions

+   * if the filename parameter is not of a UTF8String or WideString type.

+   *

+   * If you need to open a file use TBinaryStream or TFileStream instead. Many

+   * of the RTL classes offer a LoadFromStream() method so ANSI Open() methods

+   * can be workaround.

+   *

+   * If there is only a ANSI and no IPath/UTF-8/WideString version and you cannot

+   * even pass a stream instead of a filename be aware that even if you know that

+   * a filename is ASCII only, subdirectories in an absolute path might contain

+   * some non-ASCII characters (for example the user's name) and hence might

+   * fail (if the characters are not in the current locale).

+   * It is rare but it happens.

+   *

+   * IMPORTANT:

+   *   This interface needs the cwstring unit on Unix (Max OS X / Linux) systems.

+   *   Cwstring functions (WideUpperCase, ...) cannot be used by external threads

+   *   as FPC uses Thread-Local-Storage for the implementation. As a result do not

+   *   call IPath stuff by external threads (e.g. in C callbacks or by SDL-threads).

+{*

+ * Due to a compiler bug in FPC <= 2.2.4 reference counting does not work

+ * properly with interfaces (see http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=14019).

+ *

+ * There are two (probably more) scenarios causes a program to crash:

+ *

+ * 1. Assume we execute Path('fail').GetParent().ToUTF8(). The compiler will

+ * internally create a temporary variable to hold the result of Path('fail').

+ * This temporary var is then passed as Self to GetParent(). Unfortunately FPC

+ * does already decrement the ref-count of the temporary var at the end of the

+ * call to Path('fail') and the ref-count drops to zero and the temp object

+ * is destroyed as FPC erroneously assumes that the temp is not used anymore.

+ * As a result the Self variable in GetParent() will be invalid, the same

+ * applies to TPathImpl.fName which reference count dropped to zero when the

+ * temp was destroyed. Hence GetParent() will likely crash.

+ * If it does not, ToUTF8() will either return some random string

+ * (e.g. '' or stupid stuff like 'fhwkjehdk') or crash.

+ * Either way the result of ToUTF8() is messed up.

+ * This scenario applies whenever a function (or method) is called that returns

+ * an interfaced object (e.g. an IPath) and the result is used without storing

+ * a reference to it in a (temporary) variable first.

+ *

+ *  Tmp := Path('fail'); Tmp2 := Tmp.GetParent(); Tmp2.ToUTF8();

+ *

+ * will not crash but is very impractical and error-prone. Note that Tmp2 cannot

+ * be replaced with Tmp (see scenario 2).

+ *

+ * 2. Another situation this bug will ruin our lives is when a variable to an

+ * interfaced object is used at the left and right side of an assignment as in:

+ *   MyPath := MyPath.GetParent()

+ *

+ * Although the bug is already fixed in the FPC development version 2.3.1

+ * it will take quite some time till the next FPC release (> 2.2.4) in which

+ * this issue is fixed.

+ *

+ * To workaround this bug we use some very simple and stupid kind of garbage

+ * collection. New IPaths are stored in an IInterfaceList (call it GarbaegeList)

+ * to artificially increase the ref-count of the newly created object.

+ * This keeps the object alive when FPC's temporary variable comes to the end

+ * of its lifetime and the object's ref-count is decremented

+ * (and is now 1 instead of 0).

+ * Later on, the object is either garbage or referenced by another variable.

+ *

+ * Look at

+ *   MyPath := Path('SomeDir/SubDir').GetParent()

+ *

+ * (1) The result of Path('SomeDir/SubDir') is garbage as it is not used anymore.

+ * (2) The result of GetParent() is referenced by MyPath

+ * Object (1) has a reference count of 1 (as it is only referenced by the

+ * GarbageList). Object (2) is referenced twice (MyPath + GarbageList).

+ * When the reference to (2) is finally stored in MyPath we can safely remove

+ * (1) and (2) from the GarbageList so (1) will be freed and the ref-count of

+ * (2) will be decremented to 1.

+ *

+   * (Note for non-Maccies: "folder" is the Mac name for directory.)
+   *
+   * Note on the resource folders:
+   *  1. Installation of an application on the mac works as follows: Extract and
+   *     copy an application and if you don't like or need the application
+   *     anymore you move the folder to the trash - and you're done.
+   *  2. The use of folders in the user's home directory is against Apple's
+   *     guidelines and strange to an average user.
+   *  3. Even worse is using /usr/local/... since all lowercase folders in / are
+   *     not visible to an average user in the Finder, at least not without some
+   *     "tricks".
+   *
+   * The best way would be to store everything within the application bundle.
+   * However, this requires USDX to offer the handling of the resources. Until
+   * this is implemented, the second best solution is as follows:
+   *
+   * According to Aple guidelines handling of resources and folders should follow

+   * not treated yet in the code outside this unit.
+   *
+   * USDX checks, whether GetGameUserPath exists. If not, USDX creates it.

+   * it is copied to there from within the folder Contents in the Application
+   * bundle, which contains the default files. USDX should not delete files or
